Michigan manufacturers need more than a good-looking website. They need a site that captures RFQs from engineers and procurement managers, connects to their CRM, and gives their sales team full visibility into every contact before the first call. Jake Lett builds HubSpot websites specifically for industrial manufacturers — handling strategy, design, development, and SEO directly, with no account managers in between.
At a typical agency, the person who sold you the project isn't the person building it. Jake handles strategy, design, development, and ongoing management directly. You work with the same person from kickoff through launch.
Bootstrap Creative is not a HubSpot Partner. Partner agencies earn commissions on license upgrades. Jake recommends only the HubSpot tier your operation actually needs — Starter, Professional, or Enterprise — based on what you're trying to do, not what pays a higher referral fee.
Jake has worked in-house at a large manufacturer and has spent over a decade serving CNC shops, metal fabricators, and OEM suppliers. The context of long sales cycles, engineer buyers, and RFQ-driven pipelines is already built into how he approaches every project.
A manufacturing website that doesn't generate RFQs isn't a marketing asset — it's a brochure. The goal is a site that converts engineers into quote requests.
Hi. I'm Jake Lett, a freelance HubSpot CMS developer based in Clinton Township, Michigan. I've been a web designer and developer for 15+ years. I earned a bachelor's in graphic design and spent the first part of my career doing in-house work for a major bank and a large manufacturer. That background — inside real marketing and sales teams, not just agency-side — shapes how I approach every project.
I build HubSpot websites for industrial manufacturers that need more RFQs. Not more traffic metrics, not better-looking pages — actual quote requests from engineers and procurement managers with real projects. If that's the problem you're trying to solve, reach out.

Ways Bootstrap Creative helps industrial manufacturers get more RFQs from their website
Most manufacturing websites are built to look professional. An RFQ-focused site is built around what an engineer or purchasing manager needs to see before submitting a quote request: capabilities, certifications, materials, tolerances, and a form that doesn't create friction. That's what we design for.
Full website themes, landing page templates, blog themes, and custom modules — all built on HubSpot CMS and connected to your HubSpot CRM. Every contact who fills out a form lands in your pipeline automatically, with full visit history attached.
A website that doesn't feed your CRM is a missed opportunity. Jake sets up form routing, contact properties, and pipeline stages so your sales team knows exactly where every RFQ came from and what the prospect looked at before they reached out.
Pages that rank for industrial search terms use the specific terminology engineers search for — not the marketing language companies use to describe themselves. Jake handles keyword research, on-page optimization, and structured data for every page built.
If traffic is coming in but RFQs aren't, the problem is usually friction in the quote path. A/B testing on form layout, CTA copy, and page structure identifies where buyers are dropping off and what to do about it.
A well-built site and strong SEO still take time to generate consistent RFQ volume. Google Ads management fills the gap — targeting engineers and procurement managers actively searching for your capabilities right now.
Capabilities brochures, trade show materials, ebook design for gated content lead generation.

Jake's rates are lower than a full-service agency because there's no account management overhead, no offshore subcontracting, and no junior staff learning on your project. All work comes with a satisfaction guarantee. If you're unhappy with the result, you can request a refund.
Jake does not bill hourly. All work is fixed-price so you know the cost before anything starts. No change orders, no surprise invoices for extra hours.
For projects where the full scope isn't clear yet, a $1,000 paid discovery engagement defines the roadmap first. That document becomes the basis for an accurate flat-fee proposal.
For manufacturers that want continued SEO, CRO, and HubSpot management after launch, monthly retainer options are available. Scope and pricing are defined upfront — no open-ended hourly billing.
How Jake's pricing compares
A HubSpot CMS Starter subscription runs around $360/year. A custom website build typically ranges from $5,000 to $20,000 depending on the number of pages, whether custom templates are required, and how much content development is included.
Bootstrap Creative does not bill hourly. All work is scoped and fixed-price upfront — no change orders, no hours to buy later. Ongoing monthly management is available as a separate retainer after launch.
Not necessarily. HubSpot makes the most sense when you're already using HubSpot Sales or Marketing Hub, when your current site has no CRM connection, or when you're rebuilding from scratch and want one system handling both the website and the contact database. If your current WordPress site generates consistent RFQ traffic, a full migration may not be the right move — and Jake will tell you that directly rather than push a project that doesn't fit.
It means the site is built around what an engineer or purchasing manager needs to see before submitting a quote request: capabilities data up front, certifications like AS9100 or IATF 16949 visible without digging, case studies written in technical language, and a quote form that asks the right questions without creating friction. Most manufacturing websites are built to look credible. RFQ-focused sites are built to convert.
National agencies serving manufacturers run layered account structures — a salesperson closes the deal, a project manager runs kickoff, a junior developer does the build. The person who sold you the engagement rarely touches the work. Bootstrap Creative operates differently: Jake handles every aspect of a project directly. You have one point of contact who knows your site, your CRM, and your buyers. Jake has also worked inside a large manufacturer's marketing team, which shapes how he approaches industrial B2B differently than a generalist agency would.
Jake combines HubSpot CMS development, web design, industrial SEO, and Google Ads expertise in one resource — built specifically for B2B manufacturers. He is not a HubSpot Partner, which means no commission incentive to recommend more expensive license tiers. He also has in-house manufacturing industry experience, which most HubSpot developers don't have. You work with Jake directly from kickoff through launch and ongoing management.
